ing Home Fresh I'm the Morning.
Ladies' In New York are getting more
and more into the way Of resorting to the
Turkish bath as q means Of restoring
color TO the cheeks and brightness 10 the
eyes after a night Of dissipation. 1 know
. girl whose complexion is OF the clearest,
but who has left the ballroom many a
time as early as 3 O'Clock, 50 fearful Is
abe Of injuring her greatest charm. She
heard Of the Turkish bath, and therefore
risked dancing until 8 and after the other
morning. From the ballroom she went
directly to the bathing establishment,
feeling As II the entire world saw her in
famed eyes and sunken cheeks. From
the office she was conducted to a box OF q
room about rs large as a section in a
sleeping car. When my friend had re-
moved her garments she was led into an
iron walled room, where the air was so
hot that the perspiration started at once
from every pore. She was told to sit
down-there were several chairs for the
purpose-and to wait until called for.
The heat was surprisingly great, but after
Q moment IL produced that languid feel
ing that is perfectly delicious to q tired
body. The attendant returned shortly
and bound q wet towel about the new
customers head. 1t began to steam
this and IL became uncomfortable, ten O
torture, fifteen frightful and the last five
OF the twenty minutes were simply i'm
measurable suffering. Then a strong,
motherly looking woman came in. She
had on a loose gown that had no sleeves
and fell only to the knees.
"How long must / stay herei" ex-
claimed the suffering customer.
The attendant ran her hand along the
dear girls back and limbs, and said:
"You seem to have sweated pretty
wen; ! guess you can come along now"
They went into a room adjoining. II
was nearly as hot as the first. There was
. table In it on which the parboiled girl
was requested to lie down. Then the stall
wart attendant went at her in a hammer
and tongs style. She rubbed and scrubbed
and lathered her for several minutes, and
scraped her with a brush, and kneaded
her flesh until IL seemed as If her very
bones must have felt the cleansing effect
Of the operation. The attendant was
pufing and blowing from the exertion
when she told the customer to sit up, and
went to a hose that lay innocently coiled
up at one end Of the room. Without more
than q ''sit still row, please" she began
TO play = cooling stream Of water on the
lathered and glowing girl. The word
coolingi s used I'D visedly, for az it played
IL rapidly grew chilly, and presently the
dear girl wa spluttering a helpless plea
for o change. The contrast with the in
tense heat she had endured was tremen-
dous. The attendant dropped the hose
when she thought best, but before the
poor innocent customer could rejoice at
the relief she was being pounded with the
icy cold blows Of q shower bath. IL was
agony itself, and IL seemed as il every inch
of her glistening cuticle were being over
laid with pricking icicles. But this, too,
had its end, and the novice was all but
crying with WEAKNESS and torture when
the attendant led her into another room
and began to dry her. When the water
had been entirely removed from her body,
she was wrapped in q blanket and taken
10 her room.
''How long viii you sleep''' asked the
attendant.

But she was told she would have to lie
there o while any way, and that she would
surely fall asleep, SO she would better say
when she wanted to get up. She named
her hour and was tucked up in her bunk,
She wa still perspiring, and in two
minutes was sound asleep. She was
awakened promptly, and her eyes feeling
heavy and her body weary, was told Il
get into a tank Of water sunk in the fiool

the last torture. She was rubbed will
alcohol to prevent her from taking cold
and then permitted to dress. When tn,
dear girl got home IL was just her tim,
for breakfast. She slipped into the HOUSE
unobserved and promptly appeared in thu
dining room, feeling as bright and vigor
ous as II she had had q full nights sleep
and b~etraying not the slightest sign Of hel
dissipation. Cincinnati Enquirer.
